As organizations realize the value of mobile learning, an increased number are jumping at the opportunity to offer their employees mobile training opportunities. Currently, many mobile learning applications focus on delivering content. However, the most effective learning comes from applying information, especially with peers. How can you create mobile learning opportunities for learners to practice new concepts and receive real-time feedback from peers?

In this session, you will learn the value of providing learners with the opportunity to practice new information in a nonthreatening setting in order to advance professional skills. You’ll also see how cutting-edge organizations are successfully implementing these innovative methods. You’ll then look individually at scenario-based practices and peer feedback opportunities in mobile learning, using a video platform.
